Overwatch Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • UnkindledQueen Queenie (@UnkindledQueen) reported

    So when we gonna nerf Reinhardt @Blizzard because healers only prioritize him anymore and he's damn broken as **** now. Speaking as a healer main, I hate Reinhardt with a passion. @Overwatch

  • girbloss bjrok (@girbloss) reported

    the problem with overwatch is that it is a **** game where every character they have released is an answer to a problem instead of a new way to play the game

  • appleciderwitch extremely professional (@appleciderwitch) reported

    But watching it create this commentary in the Overwatch community that the game is fundamentally boring, broken, unfun because people who stream it day in and out aren't allowed to take a break (or think they can't) due to their income and not recognize where the problems are

  • MagiTheStardust StarlightMagician (@MagiTheStardust) reported

    @MLPrime19 @Kotaku I literally haven't touvhed Overwatch since I heard all this ****. I still want to get The Crash and Spyro Trilogy remakes, and CTR Nitro Fueled, but I'm planning on getting those Second hand.

  • wind_tempos 𝑇𝑎𝑦𝑙𝑜𝑟 🌿✨ 𝐵𝑙𝑎𝑧𝑒 𝑃𝑖𝑧𝑧𝑎 𝑆𝑡𝑎𝑛 (@wind_tempos) reported

    @Josueisinbed I feel like it's VERY well optimized on PC. I don't have an amazing laptop, the other games I enjoy like Valorant, Dead By Daylight, Overwatch and Apex Legends all BAKE my CPU and I experience bad framerate issues. None of that with Halo Infinite, no stutter whatsoever.

  • KatzeUwU Kat | 18+ MDNI (@KatzeUwU) reported

    @Helixsqrd Dead By Daylight, First Class Trouble, Overwatch, Apex, etc.

  • Dagr8_Carlos CranBerry Carlos (COMMISSION ME) (@Dagr8_Carlos) reported

    @DintheAbary So they expand their world through spinoff games and multi media material. I was gonna call it the "Overwatch problem" but ActBlizz were never smart enuff to take advantage of what they had & had an dissapointing sequel. Also ActBlizz is evil soooo...no

  • toomanysnipers Teeth (@toomanysnipers) reported

    @Pyke_64 @WrathofBill it is broken yeah but i've had fun in my 100 hours so far and Overwatch is dead af stale boring trash now the tweet was clearly complaining about an optional cosmetic

  • zhuqux ely (@zhuqux) reported

    i LOVE the experimental changes but the problem is i cant get off a single rez. i’d like interact to cancel the rez instead of just pressing the button twice. it doesnt go through smoothly on console :( i love the change tho -ps4 mercy player #overwatch

  • DovahkiinJeff DovahkiinJeff (@DovahkiinJeff) reported

    @Halo I have something different for you. Please let people rejoin ranked matches. When I also play Valorant and Overwatch and can rejoin matches after a crash or DC and Infinite doesn't allow it - it's a huge kick in the *****. Not having this day one is unacceptable for ranked

  • wiinterbrry ⋆࿐໋ 𝚙𝚊𝚗𝚍𝚊 🐼 (@wiinterbrry) reported

    if this GIRL DONT FIX HER INTERNET 😭 I WANNA PLAY OVERWATCH

  • LukasitoMeier Lukas (@LukasitoMeier) reported

    @JJSHarvard Did you ever do an "overwatch communication" guide or video? I think communication is what OW taught me like no other game, I learnt so much about truth, hate, value talk, scape goating. And all of this+, in a trial and error situation you have nowhere else.

  • zazzastack zazzastack (@zazzastack) reported

    @drako5678 @dix0nm8 Exactly dude, why haven’t the overwatch team hired me to fix their game yet? XD

  • omistar2392 0mistar (@omistar2392) reported

    @itsCompulsive I'm not surprised i'm just pissed that they keep doing dumb **** lol. Like Overwatch is going through that phase and lately the game's recovering cuz the content creators gave a patch notes idea that did more than the devs could do in 3 years to fix the broken system.

  • Adamalons Adam (@Adamalons) reported

    @Raffygraffiti I'm not big on FPS PVP usually, and didn't stick with TF2, but oh man the campaign is magnificent. And so many people swear by the multiplayer it's probably just an issue of taste for me. Only FPS PVP games I've gotten into were Overwatch and, ironically, Apex Legends.

  • phoebslynx2 phoebe🦖 (@phoebslynx2) reported

    @BlizzardCS trying to invite my friend to play overwatch on xbox and it’s not working we can play other games etc but just overwatch wont work

  • bougiebjones bougie (@bougiebjones) reported

    Every time I start up Overwatch I’m prepared to pop a blood vessel from how mad I’m going to get from the completely broken team balancing in QP

  • BomanYang Boman Yang (@BomanYang) reported

    @Respawn @PlayApex Can you fix your server code? How tf do these laggy console players end up being Tracer from Overwatch? How tf am I supposed to fight that?

  • KanoodleTV Myles Perkins (@KanoodleTV) reported

    @The_KingLIVE It'd be a nightmare to actually get something that measures that stuff functioning without creating the overwatch problem where supports did nothing and got skyrocketed to the highest ranks. Wish my smokes got recognized by the game and not just my homies gassing me up :/

  • bukk1timeOnly wtf 2021 (@bukk1timeOnly) reported

    @BF2042Hub No this isn't cod, overwatch, or apex. No one wants specialists. Everyone was hyped on getting a bigger & better bf4. Instead we get to have goofy santa vs woody from toy story battles. Fix the game!

  • Pyke_64 Pyke_64 (@Pyke_64) reported

    @toomanysnipers @WrathofBill No, people are crying about the game being broken and unfun. Which can't be said about Overwatch.

  • ZodiacK427 Leon (@ZodiacK427) reported

    @dessamator1 @IGN lady people are mad because this is no longer Battlefield, its turning into some Overwatch/Rainbow 6 Siege ****. Instead of fixing the hundreds of issues with the game this is what their focusing on? yea I can totally see why people would be upset.

  • lgbtqfc Kim McCauley (@lgbtqfc) reported

    How to fix the video game Overwatch: 1. Make Baptiste's cooldown, immortality field, his ult 2. Make Baptiste's ult, amplification matrix, a cooldown that's smaller and amplifies by a much lower percentage so it's a cooldown-quality ability Great game again

  • OWGrandma Dani Ellis (@OWGrandma) reported

    @Sxnkuu_ Yeah it's really making the game feel fun and strangely it didn't feel too broken, like even playing it with a bunch of streamers and it still just felt like Overwatch hahaha

  • zoroworship slime puppy (@zoroworship) reported

    why is overwatch so broken the fact it didnt even load me into the hero picking screen n kicked me for inactivity ***** are you stupid be honest

  • Tigger14294810 Tigger (@Tigger14294810) reported

    @DUEL_IxI_TOXIC @CSGO The problem is that the overwatch system isnt working lol 🤡🤡

  • Sp00kypukie cyberthot (@Sp00kypukie) reported

    @TheOkamiRex thank you!! i have some trouble with overwatch alone being about 100 ping so not sure if it's a possibility -___-

  • Psalmdoval sandoclause 🎅 :) (@Psalmdoval) reported

    @emoblueprint Valorant, TFT/League, Overwatch, and everything else is so much more fun rn, apex just made my mental too broken and toxic especially with this stormpoint map

  • DenjiaDragon Denji (@DenjiaDragon) reported

    Is it just me or does the state of #VALORANT just seem like complete crap similar to overwatch? There are so many problems with the game and riot just ignores them like they have no clue they actually exist

  • ollyoverwatch Aatu Olli (@ollyoverwatch) reported

    Quitting Overwatch! Starting my Military Service in January : ) Also, people in this game are weirdos or mega toxic zZzZzZ
